ellis paul - All My Heroes Were Junkies слова песни
In 1968, he did shots with the doors at the whiskey-a-go-goIt was on one of those hot hollywood summer nightsHe says, "jimmy came in tight leather slacks, it was hot as hellBut we were drinking jack, his eyes were like quartersRound, and black when he stepped under the stage lights...""and you know me," he says, "i had pawned my only cameraI had no way to record these fleeting kodak momentsThat sprung to life each and every saturday nightI was too far gone back then to have known it..."Chorus:He says, "all my heroes were junkies,Now all my heroes are deadI say, "hey tony, consider yourself luckyTo be a junkie in a hospital bed"He says, "you know judy garland never showed up when I took my walk in the land of ozThough a cop did on a purple horse one morningHe asked me why I was staggeringI said, `because - because, because, becauseThe wizard never gave me no surgeon generals warning"ChorusBridge:"who rolled the joint when bob dylanGot high with the beatles? " he says,"who put my world on pins and needles? "He tells the nurses they should do somethingWith the ceiling in the rehab wardLike paint a fresco to the late-great betty fordThey come in and make their jokes aboutPulling out all his power chordsHe tells them, "could you come up withSomething I didnt already know? "Chorus
